I’m planning on installing a metal shut off valve right after the water meter (see photo). A few questions…
1) I’m planning on using a metal ball valve with cpvc connectors (Sioux chief makes one). Is it as simple as cutting and solvent welding on the valve?

2) Will cutting the pipe affect the expansion tank at all? Will it need any sort of adjustment afterwards?
3) I was thinking of adding more pipe (in the shape of a U) to place the shut off valve at a lower level for easier access.. Will adding this cause any issues with water flow?
Thank you for any assistance here…
